Chapter 537: This Melody Belongs Only to Heaven

The host on the stage was still announcing the program.

However, many people’s attention was drawn to the VIP seats. Despite so many people looking at him, Adrian Law acted as if he didn’t see it at all. He directly blocked the way in front of Fiona Vaughn and Rosalind White, while holding Cecilia Vaughn’s hand with his other hand, protecting his young wife behind him.

At this moment, countless women felt a pang of jealousy.

Whether they were single, had boyfriends, or were married, they suddenly felt a sense of envy toward Cecilia Vaughn.

Having such a doting partner was something one wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

"Didn’t the gossip on Weibo say that The Eldest Young Master Law and the art department’s campus belle, Cecilia Vaughn, had a sham marriage? Why does it seem like The Eldest Young Master Law dotes on her so much?"

"Tch, just think about it; it’s obvious it’s all for show."

"For show? Are you kidding? What could be worth having the head of the Law Group stoop to put on a show? I think The Eldest Young Master Law is genuinely in love with Cecilia Vaughn."

"I’m so jealous of Cecilia Vaughn. Everyone used to say she was aloof and unapproachable, but now it seems that such a temperament is probably due to The Eldest Young Master Law’s pampering."

...

Hearing those discussions, Rosalind White gritted her teeth, the unpleasant taste of iron spreading from her lips and teeth.

"Adrian, do you really need to block me and Fiona? We still have to go on stage to perform."

"You can leave once you apologize."

Adrian Law glanced dispassionately at Rosalind White, who had tears glistening in her eyes, as if the man before her was the world’s biggest heartbreaker, yet Adrian didn’t acknowledge it at all.

Rosalind White was filled with indignation. She gripped Fiona Vaughn’s wrist so tightly that her rosy lips nearly drew blood.

"Adrian...you can’t just blindly shield your sister-in-law, ignoring right and wrong. We didn’t do anything to wrong her. Why should we apologize in front of everyone?"

Under normal circumstances, Rosalind White wouldn’t dare speak to Adrian Law with such an attitude.

She always wanted to appear gentle and tender before the man she loved, as it made her more endearing.

But seeing Adrian Law protect someone like this, especially Cecilia Vaughn, her internal scales tipped drastically.

...

"Why apologize?"

Cecilia Vaughn glanced slyly at Rosalind White. After a pause, she casually swept a glance at Lilith Judy and spoke with grave sincerity.

"Miss White still pretends not to understand? Or maybe you hope Ms. Lilith Judy will explain to everyone why we were late?"

Rosalind White’s face stiffened. She finally understood why Adrian Law said she was the real culprit.

If it weren’t for Lilith Judy’s outburst and her seeking help from Cecilia Vaughn, they wouldn’t have arrived so late.

But even so, Rosalind White was extremely unwilling.

"How could I know what little incidents you and Ms. Lilith Judy had?"

"Fiona, let’s go."

With fear in her heart, Rosalind White refused to relent, simply dragging Fiona Vaughn by the sleeve, wanting to leave directly.

Meanwhile, Lilith Judy had already reached the VIP aisle.

Considering Stellerton University’s regulations, fans dared not bother. It would only take her a few minutes to pass through the enthusiastic crowd.

Fiona Vaughn was more fearful than Rosalind White, as she was the one who most wanted to stand out.

Fiona Vaughn was somewhat annoyed with Rosalind White for not knowing when to hold back, forcing her to put on a smiling face and whisper to Cecilia Vaughn.

"Sister, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said you caused Mr. Law to be late because of your outfit."

"What else?"

Cecilia Vaughn looked at Fiona Vaughn with a mocking smile, then quickly shifted her almond-shaped eyes to Rosalind White.

"Miss White surely hasn’t forgotten that she mocked me and Adrian for embarrassing Veridia? You should know exactly why we were late."

"Of course, if it seems Miss White truly wants to confront Lilith Judy head-on, I don’t mind laying everything out."

...

Such blatant threats!

Rosalind White saw Cecilia Vaughn’s apparent mocking smile and was almost consumed by her anger, feeling like flames rising within her. Seeing Lilith Judy about to approach, she finally and reluctantly gave in.

"Sorry..."

The words were so quiet they were almost inaudible.

"Did Miss White skip breakfast? How does she have the energy to perform on stage like this?"

"You—"

Rosalind White glared angrily at Cecilia Vaughn, unable to believe someone could be as insatiable as Cecilia Vaughn.

"Cecilia Vaughn, don’t push it!"

...

But Cecilia Vaughn was unfazed.

She was long tired of the family camaraderie pretense with these people, preferring to confront them head-on rather than resort to smiles.

"What, Miss White does not want to sincerely apologize? Or are those three words, ’I’m sorry,’ too difficult to say?"

Confronted so brazenly in front of countless Stellerton University students, Rosalind White felt both humiliated and furious, barely restraining herself from slapping Cecilia Vaughn.

Fiona Vaughn was startled by Rosalind White’s face turning beet red, fearing she would ruin their plan. She quickly scratched Rosalind’s palm and whispered reassuringly.

"Rosalind, enduring now is the path to success. There will be a time to make Cecilia Vaughn regret, but don’t fall into her trap here..."

Rosalind White took a deep breath, the thought of her plan with Fiona making her expression soften somewhat reluctantly.

"I—I’m—sorry!"

"Cecilia Vaughn, is that enough?"

"Why not call me sister-in-law?"

Cecilia Vaughn smiled brightly as she held Adrian Law’s hand. Despite Rosalind White wearing heels, Cecilia’s natural height, complemented by slightly wedged snow boots, allowed her to gaze down at Rosalind.

This feeling of degrading scrutiny burned even more in Rosalind White’s heart.

She expected her to call her sister-in-law!?

No way!

...

Ignoring Cecilia Vaughn, Rosalind White angrily swept her sleeves and left, leaving the pregnant Fiona Vaughn feeling even more awkward.

Fiona was much more hypocritical than Rosalind White, managing a warm smile at Cecilia Vaughn and Adrian Law before leaving.

"Mr. Law, sister, please don’t mind too much. She’s just being childish. Make sure you watch our performance, okay~"

...

And the host on stage was already smilingly announcing Fiona Vaughn and Rosalind White’s performance.

"The ancients used ’this melody should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world’ to describe the beauty of music. Today, we are fortunate to hear our school’s goddess, Fiona, perform alongside Miss Rosalind White, who returned from a Vesperian Ivy League School, in the ’Butterfly Lovers.’ Let’s welcome them with applause!"
